If pics are accurate #1

First one.

My observations on the first one, the pictures did not show light lines on the obverse, the coin does not have the antique gold tone but more of a light toning. The two coins do not have the same grade and did not sell for the same.

Whichever one that could shed the ‘S’ on the reverse.

The first coin is more attractive IMHO.

Second was better deal, probably a cac candidate. The first is a low end 63, pictures are not really true to the reality.

I like the first one better myself.

Based on pictures, I prefer the first one.....Though they both have chatter....Cheers, RickO

I have seen a lot of NGC $20 gold pieces that are properly graded, especially in their earlier holders. With an MS63 you expect considerable eye appeal, no wear good luster, no real problems. If you are going to pay $1900 for a 91-s in MS63 it should be all there. The MS62 coin sold for a little under $1700 which is still a substantial premium for the coin. With the ebay fees these have to sell at a big premium to be pay for the 10% or so fees.
